Hypercode Blog, Happy Birthday to us!

Happy Birthday to us!

Exactly one year ago today, we opened for business as Hypercode. Months of preparation and the founding of our GmbH in April 2019 had led to this moment: our own vision of a modern digital business, and the first Digital Product Studio in Germany’s most beautiful city, Cologne.

In October 2019, the office building we’d chosen months earlier was finally finished, and we moved into our first office, affectionately known as “Hyperspace One”. Late summer and a mild winter brought plenty of evenings on the roof terrace, where we gathered after work and sometimes met with clients.

After launching our first larger projects and plenty of smaller ones in spring 2020, and enjoying a memorable carnival party, we were in for a rude awakening. A global pandemic unlike anything in living memory soon sent us home to work. Fortunately, we were able to carry on as usual from there. Today, we’re confident we can meet the challenges of the pandemic as a company, as a partner to our clients and as part of society. Still, starting a company: hard mode. 😅

Now we’re looking forward to year two, new projects, new clients and certainly no shortage of challenges. Thank you to everyone who has supported and inspired us during this exciting first year. We’re full of energy for what comes next and look forward to continuing the journey together!
